Our Falcon

You are here

New Zealand’s endemic falcon – the ‘Kārearea’ – is proudly displayed on every bottle of Lake Chalice wine.

A native to the Marlborough region but rarely seen, Kārearea favour the remote mountains and foothills of the upper Awatere and Wairau valleys.

Once prolific to the region, today Kārearea are threatened due to introduced pests, persecution, and electrocution. To help prevent further damage to such a magnificent and endemic raptor, Lake Chalice Wines work closely with the Wingspan Birds of Prey Trust to help preserve and rehabilitate New Zealand’s indigenous birds of prey.
